The player starts the game with a Town Center, an Explorer, and several
Settlers or merely a Covered Wagon and an Explorer depending on the type
of game selected. Unlike the other Age of Empires games, this one
includes gunpowder warfare, including artillery and rifle companies.
When the game starts the exact terrain of the map which includes, the
position of the enemy, native tribes, and trade post sites are blacked
out. If you have teammates they and the land they visit are visible.
Players must explore the map and begin gathering the natural resources,
food, coin, or wood which are used to train more units, create more
buildings, and upgrade your technology.
The actions such as training units, constructing buildings, and killing
enemy units can give the player experience points. When the experience
points reach a certain threshold the players earn shipment cards that
can be shipped from the Home City to the player. Then as your economy
and military improves you can destroy their colonies or the enemy may
offer to resign (if
allowed).

The game was presented with two awards by GameSpy in 2005: "Real-time
strategy game of the year"and "Best Graphics". GameSpy highly praised
the game overall, giving it 5 stars in its review,[50] which
particularly noted the graphics and multiplayer experience. The game was
named fifth-best game of 2005 by GameSpy.Other awards, including an
"Outstanding" from GameZone,reflect the positive critical reception of
the game.The game was given an 'honorable mention' in the 'Best Music'
category.
Yahoo!'s report differed, but still had many positive features. Like
GameSpy, Yahoo! also praised the effort put into the graphics and
physics, but maintained that these are essentially eye-candy. Both
Yahoo! and Eurogamer were disappointed by the traditional
economics-based strategy of the game and believed that this, with the
lack of useful formation and tactics, meant that the game does not stand
up to other modern real-time strategy games.
Eurogamer shared these final thoughts and described the new Home City
shipments, along with all the treasures scattered around the map, as
silly and childish ways of trying to complement the game's lack of
strategy and tactical choices. However, Eurogamer recognized that
Ensemble Studios was brave to implement "something quite different" from
other real time strategy games — the Home City concept
